What's a good pair of rear panniers?

I'm probably going to get this rack for my 1,400 mile tour this summer.

Axiom Streamliner Road Dlx Rear Rack Black | eBay

It's one of the only rear rack models that attaches at the rear brake caliper thread.

I will be attaching this rack via the rear caliper thread & P clamps on the seat stays (I like my rear wheel to be directly in touch with the dropouts).

--------------------------------------------------------

What kind of panniers go with this rack though? It's especially narrow...

I'm looking for:

1. Waterproof
2. Able to hold "lots of gear & food & water"
3. Two panniers on the sides & one big pannier on top

(I suppose I could just use the two side panniers & strap a sleeping bag, sleeping pad & tent on top of them with bungee cords)
